The public school system isn't doing that for our fellow citizens already. I fail to see why it would be worse if the failure happens at home rather than in a government building.

My comment was a direct response to the question "why should I care if my neighbors are educated?"

And that's a fair criticism of some public schools. And some home-schoolers. And probably some private schools.
